The Savannah Regional Minister, Mr Salisu Be-Awuribe, has called on the Overlord of Dagbon, Ndan Ya-Na Abukari Mahama and the King of Gonja Traditional Area, Yagbonwura Bii-Kunuti Jewu Soale, to use their influence to solve the long standing chieftaincy crisis in Bawku.
He said the two chiefs were powerful and could use the powers within their jurisdiction as kings to solve the conflicts in the Bawku area.
The minister made the statement here at the Jakpa Palace in Damongo when the Overlord of Dagbon paid a reciprocal historic visit to the King of the Gonja Traditional Area, Yagbonwura Bii-Kunuti Jewu Soale.
It is recalled that the Yagbonwura paid a historic visit to the Ndan Ya-Na at the Gbewaa Palace in Yendi last June to discuss matters of unity, peace and development in their respective areas.
